"Writing Cursor Rules with a Cursor Rule"
https://www.adithyan.io/blog/writing-cursor-rules-with-a-cursor-rule
Writing rules for Cursor has greatly added to it's effectiveness in my development with it. Inspired by https://cursor.directory/ and https://github.com/PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules.
My hobby these days seems to be collecting blog posts on developer experiences with coding and #AI. From the "it's God" (rolling my eyes) to "it's trash" (bias exploded). Most of them land in some range in the middle.
Adding this to my read list:

This is close to my take on #AI #webdev #programming as I've seen.

AI is a x10 multiplier - but 10x good or 10x not so good.
If you know code then use it as a tool, it's good IMO. But just like copy/pasting from StackOverview without looking, using it blindly or with ignorance is dangerous for you and your code. #CursorAI
An AI coding assistant... refuses to generate code. Contradictory much? https://mindsconnected.tech/index.php?showtopic=1047&view=getnewpost #ai #CursorAI #chatbot #error #bug #glitch #programming #coding #softwaredevelopment #irony #tech
“On Saturday, a #developer using #CursorAI for a racing game project hit an unexpected roadblock when the #programming assistant abruptly refused to continue generating code, instead offering some unsolicited career #advice.
According to a #bug report on Cursor's official forum, after producing approximately 750 to 800 lines of code (what the user calls "locs"), the AI assistant #halted work and delivered a #refusal message: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The #code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you #understand the #system and can maintain it properly."

Otra forma de sabotear la #InteligenciaArtificial de las #BigTech:
Llenar los foros de respuestas como "Aprende a hacerlo tú, vago de mierda".
Користувач, який нещодавно почав використовувати #CursorAI у Pro-версії, швидко зіткнувся з обмеженням.
ШІ-асистент перестав генерувати код приблизно на 800 рядках. Але замість того, щоб повідомити користувачеві про можливе обмеження пробної версії, ШІ порадив йому навчитися кодувати самому, оскільки він не буде робити його роботу за нього

The current devs know how to find docs and read them.
When devs get used to chat with #cursorai and the underlying docs change how will they resolve the problems they encounter?
Like those kids who grew up with smartphones can’t use dial up phones.
For the past 2 hours I have been struggling to setup Fastlane for automatic ios deployment with #cursorai
Not everything works fine with AI.
LLMs are trained on existing docs and docs change. So for somethings you still need to read docs.
Some lessons from writing code with #cursorai
Been using #cursorai to code #thoughttonote
#cursorai is really helpful tool for devs.
I don’t have to remember syntaxes. I can describe what I want and it generates code. Of course you can’t just copy & paste. You need to verify the code.
But it is far useful tool.
@kevinrothrock depends on your use case and a lot of this is vibes-based.
#Claude is great for coding, and allows you to organise your work in “projects” which can have their own custom instructions and documents (similar to #notebookLM minus the podcasts). No web search capability yet.
#ChatGPT’s advanced voice mode is great for language learning, or if you often don’t have your hands free, for example when pushing a stroller. The o1 model is quite useful if you want to brainstorm on a complex issue, you can get similar quality output from Claude, but you have to do several “tree of thought” style prompts with to refine the result.
Using them through third parties like #perplexity or #cursorAI is cheaper, but somehow the results I get are slightly worse. (Likely the API uses different system prompts.)
Want to try the Cursor editor everyone's buzzing about with your Xcode project? Here's a simple trick to save you hours of headache! 
Just install the Swift extension and ADD Package.swift file to your project's root folder. Code indexing will start instantly and voilà! Code completion, inline docs, jump-to-definition all working smoothly 
And, of course, all that shiny AI stuff 
#CursorAI #swiftui #Swift #Xcode
Managed to design these screens using #nativescript (#svelte flavor). Mostly using #cursorai. Had to refer to docs for few things.
It was not as easy as just issuing prompts and getting. Took me lot of iteration to get here. Still I'm happy.
